Food was mediocre, although being from Vancouver, I know my expectations are high for Persian food. Atmosphere was ok, I think we were there at their quieter time so it was pleasant. The staff member was very friendly and helpful. I was quite surprised by their price range as it was on the higher end despite the medium quality.

First time trying Persian cuisine. We went on a weekday, so the restaurant was calm with no big crowds. Atmosphere & decor: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Tea: 10/10 Food: 6.5/10. The lamb shank had too much tomato sauce and wasn’t very enjoyable. The kobebiahs were delicious they were juicy and tender. However both dishes were unfortunately not served hot. The soup was tasty and warm. The salad was also good.

The food here is incredible and the restaurant looks amazing, but I had a bit of a 'yikes' moment. I ran into one of the cooks in the bathroom and they were wearing their culinary black uniform and apron inside the stall. It’s such a shame because everything else was perfect, but that’s a pretty big food safety no-no. Just wanted to flag it because the flavors and the vibe are otherwise top-notch! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The dishes are absolutely delicious and full of flavor, with very reasonable prices. The traditional setting and Iranian architecture truly reflect the rich culture. The staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming, making you feel like a valued guest. Definitely an experience everyone should try! Thank you so much!

​I am beyond disappointed with my experience here. While the food is one thing, the management’s conduct regarding the bill was completely unacceptable. ​Despite receiving no actual service throughout our meal, the manager stepped in and forced a 20% tip onto my bill. A tip is supposed to be a reflection of the quality of service provided and, above all, a choice made by the customer. Being coerced into paying a high gratuity when the staff was non-existent is unprofessional and feels like a shake-down. ​It is incredibly frustrating to be treated this way as a patron. I won’t be returning to a place that disregards customer choice and tries to mandate "appreciation" for poor service. ​Pros: None (overshadowed by the experience) Cons: Forced gratuity, lack of service, unprofessional management

I came here with my friends for my birthday. The quality of the food and the atmosphere were very good. I would like to thank Ms. Sara, who was very polite and the management was excellent.

The food was delivered with a three-hour delay. When I first followed up, they said the driver had mistakenly marked it as picked up—but even after that, they still didn’t send it. There’s absolutely no sense of responsibility or follow-up. We ordered lunch, and it’s apparently arriving as a late afternoon snack—if it arrives at all, because it still hasn’t. Honestly, if it were possible, I wouldn’t even give this one star. Not to mention that sometimes they just leave the order at the door, and when we order hot food, it arrives cold

Behesht is a respectable restaurant offering high quality food without the gastronomic 'pretense culture'. The decor is modest, warm and original. If you need sunlight, you will have plenty. I invited some friends there and we all appreciated the fesendjan, it was our first 😊. It's definitely a win. Thank you to the employees who contribute to the near elysian experience. Behesht, you won your spot in my Montreal restaurant Trinity 🥳

Food is so bad. Looks like they add liquid smoke to their sour chicken for it to look like it was grilled in charcoal. Chicken was half cooked. Rice was so bad. Washroom is also so dirty . I don’t recommend at all.

We visited as a group of 4 and while the food quality was good and most staff were pleasant, our experience was significantly impacted by one staff member who was responsible for serving our area. Throughout our visit, I had to get up THREE times and walk to the service area myself because we were being ignored. Each time, this staff member responded with visibly rude and dismissive reactions — which was both unprofessional and uncomfortable for our entire group. It’s a shame, because the kitchen did a great job and the other employees were friendly. However, one person’s behavior can ruin an entire dining experience for a table of 4. I hope management addresses this, as it would make a real difference.
